IEC Measurement Categories Definitions and Examples (Clause 6.5.2) Measurement Category I Definition: Measurement category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to a mains supply. Examples: Measurements in circuits not derived from a mains supply and specially protected ( internal ) circuits derived from a mains supply. In the latter case, transient stresses are variable; for that reason it is required that the transient withstand capability of the equipment is made known to the user. Measurement Category II Definition: Measurement category II is for measurements performed CAT II on circuits directly connected to the low voltage installation. Examples: Household appliances, portable tools and similar equipment. Measurement Category III Definition: Measurement category III is for measurements CAT III performed in the building installation. Examples: Measurements on distribution boards, circuit breakers, wiring including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed installation and equipment for industrial use like for example stationary motors with permanent connection to the fixed installation. Measurement Category IV Definition: Measurement category IV is for measurements CAT IV performed at the source of the low-voltage installation. 4 Examples: Electricity meters and measurements on primary over current protection devices and and ripple control units.
IEC Pollution Degrees Definitions (Clause 3.5.6 ) Pollution Degree 1 No POLLUTION or only dry, non conductive POLLUTION. NOTE The POLLUTION has no influence. Pollution Degree 2 Only- non conductive POLLUTION. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be accepted. Pollution Degree 3 Conductive POLLUTION occurs or dry, non-conductive POLLUTION occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation which is to be expected.

Safety Information To avoid personal injury and to prevent fire or damage to this product or products connected to it, review and comply with the following safety precautions. Be aware that if you use this probe assembly in a manner not specified the protection this product provides may be impaired. Only qualified personnel should use this probe assembly. Use only grounded instruments. Do not connect the probe ground lead to a potential other than earth ground. Always make sure the probe and the measurement instrument are grounded properly. Connect and disconnect properly. Connect the probe output to the measurement instrument and connect the ground lead to earth ground before connecting the probe to the circuit under test. Disconnect the probe input and the probe ground lead from the circuit under test before disconnecting the probe from the measurement instrument. Observe probe and probe accessory ratings. Do not apply any electrical potential to the probe input which exceeds the maximum ratings of the probe or the accessories connected to it. In a combination always the lower rating / measurement category applies to both probe and accessories connected to it. Make sure to comply with the voltage versus frequency derating curve on page 8. Keep away from live circuits. Avoid open circuitry. Do not touch connections or components when power is present. Do not operate with suspected failures. Refer to qualified service personnel. Indoor use only. Do not operate in wet/damp environment. Keep product surfaces dry and clean. Do not operate the product in an explosive atmosphere. 6
Operating the Probe Safely The PHV1000-3 is rated for 1000V AC rms or DC CAT II. Note that the max. input voltage rating of the probe decreases as the frequency of the applied signal increases (see Derating section). Refer to the relevant section of this instructions manual for the maximum input voltages, derating information and definitions of relevant IEC Measurement Categories (CAT). Grounding the Probe Connect the probe to the oscilloscope input and connect the ground lead to earth ground before performing any measurements. Note that all accessible metal parts are connected to the BNC instrument connector (GND), except for the probe tip and the BNC centre-conductors. The PHV1000-3 is designed for ground-referenced measurements only. About the PHV Probe Series The PHV1000 is the PMK general purpose high voltage probe with a 100:1 attenuation. Its fast rise time and accurate frequency response make it suitable for a variety of measurement applications. The very sharp probe tip is spring loaded and minimizes the pressure to the dut (device under test). It also prevents the probe from slipping on the board surface. Especially when probing at an angle. The probe tips are changeable. Replacement tips are provided within the accessory pack. Refer to the maintenance section to learn how to change the probe tip. 7

Handling Maintenance Cleaning Handle with care especially when fitted with the extra thin and sharp spring contact tip to avoid any injury. Note that the probe cable is a sensitive part of the probe. Do not damage through excessive bending or pulling. Avoid mechanical shock to this product in general to guarantee accurate performance and protection. To clean the exterior of the probe use a soft cloth moistened with either distillated water or isopropyl alcohol. Before use allow the probe to dry completely. Changing the Probe Tip To change the probe tip use pliers to grip and pull it carefully straight out of its contact socket, along the axis of the probe. Do not grip the white plastic insulator or the housing with pliers, because the tip could be squeezed and cannot be removed and respectively the probe could be damaged. If the probe tip is removed, the new tip can be inserted with pliers into the contact socket, along the axis of the probe. In order to insert the probe tip completely into the housing, press the probe tip against a hard surface carefully. Use pliers to grip and pull the probe tip carefully out of its contact socket. Do not grip the white plastic insulator or the probe housing with pliers. 11
Adjustment Procedures The probe can be adjusted for low frequency (LF) compensation and for high frequency (HF) compensation and DC dividing ratio. LF Compensation LF needs to be adjusted when the probe is connected to the oscilloscope input the first time. LF compensation matches the probes cable capacitance to the oscilloscope input capacitance. This matching assures good amplitude accuracy from DC to upper bandwidth limit frequencies. A poorly compensated probe clearly influences the overall system performance (probe + scope) and introduces measurement errors resulting in inaccurate readings and distorted waveforms. LF compensation is performed by connecting the probe to the CAL output on the oscilloscope front panel and adjusting the LF compensation trimmer to optimum square wave response. For clarification see below figures. undercompensated optimum overcompensated LF Compensation 12
Adjustment Procedures HF Compensation HF needs to be adjusted when the probe is connected to the scope input the first time. HF adjustment is performed by connecting the probe to the rectangular wave generator with a fast rise time. Adjust trimmers for optimum square wave response. DC Adjustment optimum In order to provide highest accuracy over the voltage range this probes dividing ratio is factory adjusted using 500 VDC source and a measuring device with a precision input impedance of 1MΩ ± 0.01 %. Factory calibration traceable to DKD is available on request. LF Compensation DC HF Compensation 13
